Intakt CD 235
The French magazine "Jazzman" placed Barry Guy's first release of the New Orchestra among its records of the year ("a scalpel from the first second") and the "Neue Zürcher Zeitung" called his composition "a masterpiece looking toward the future." Nine years after the successful debut album Inscape-Tableaux, and five years after the second recording Oort-Entropy Barry Guy and his New Orchestra present their third release with two compositions of Barry Guy: Amphi and Radio Rondo.
Barry Guy writes: «As always I try to structure the composition to place all the players in a creative dialogue with each other, carefully grading the tensions and releases in the music to take the listener on – Amphi may be termed as "chamber music" whilst Radio Rondo looks towards a more orchestral landscape. In some ways, the listener must also adjust their expectations since the expansiveness of the concert grand piano resonating within an obvious "big picture" as in Radio Rondo, differs markedly from the (no less resonant) more internalized musical gestures of the baroque violin in Amphi. Importantly, the musicians in the BGNO deliver improvisations of nuanced sensibility in response to two quite different compositional strategies.»

THE COMPLETE IN BERLIN '88 (BOX SET)
by CECIL TAYLORsupported by 13 fans who also own “Amphi - Radio Rondo”
The music of Cecil Taylor is, in my mind, a grand codex to the hidden (occult) corners of the universe and mind. He had this ability to tap into what appeared to be chaos but in truth was not. We, the listeners, are invited to welcome the challenge of understanding his decryption. This monolithic slab of recordings is evidence of the incite and talent he possessed. Challenging is a word I don't use lightly and this comes from a lover of extreme metal. But, without challenge life is bland.
